January 28, 1883: "The Oberlin College Bicycle Club begins its headlong career with a nucleus of five members... We desire to have it distinctly understood that the object of the club is to scare the required number of horses, run over the usual number of people, patiently answer all questions and willingly follow out every idea presented." Oberlin Review, Feb. 1883.
Thus began Oberlin's long love affair with the bicycle. This is a town perfectly suited to the bicycle, with its easy flat terrain and small size. Let your bicycle lead you through Oberlin and show you its many landmarks and rich history.
This tour was created by the Oberlin Heritage Center and is designed for bicyclists but can also be traveled on foot or by car. Despite the humorous quote above, please be a respectful rider and obey all traffic safety regulations, including not cycling on the sidewalks of the downtown block.
